(Hearing on a forum that all girls are under contract seems a little far reaching and vague. Parties subject to a contract are the ones obligated to uphold it, not the world at large that may or may not be aware of what is contained within the contract).

If a model were contacted via Facebook, accepted a gig, and never identified to a shooter that they were under contract, I'm not sure that an agency has recourse against a producer; probably only against the model.

I'm just sayin.....

But then again, I could be 100% wrong... who knows.

This is a very interesting thread so far. Very He said, she said with support for both parties on both sides. I wonder where the truth lies. Hmmmmmmm.
That is correct, a party not named in the contract cannot be held liable for the behavior of a party to the contract. In such a case, the model would be liable, and only the model.
